Brandon and crew remodeled two bathrooms. Then we hired them to completely remodel our kitchen and all new trim and doors. He guided us through a sticky problem where new flooring would meet a beautiful railing. Their work is precise and they treat your home as it is theirs. We couldn't be happier and we would recommend them to anyone.

Hired Brandon in Aug of last year to finish a basement. Basement work started in Nov, and were contracted to be done prior to March 1st with a contracted amount to be deducted from the payment if it went past March. It's now the first week in June and we still aren't done, yet he continues to ask for more money. We have already paid upwards of 30K+ for all the work and despite him being more than 3 months past the drop dead contract date now refuses to finish unless I give him more money. On top of that, his last bill is full of erroneous charges for things that were originally included in the quote like cabinet handles, door hardware, etc.... He has lied about the status of the project multiple times and lead us to believe multiple times that we would be done and then weeks later we still aren't complete. I've had to cancel multiple planned events over this time period due to his poor time management and lack of project management skills. 0/10 would not use him ever again. 6/17/19 - Found out why he bailed on the job at the very end when the sink and countertops were going in... turns out he installed the entire drain line too high and now I either have to have the entire drain line corrected, which includes ripping out cabinets and drywall to reposition the drain pipe, or put have an under the sink drain pump put in... either option will cost a substantial amount to fix. Can't wait to find out what other surprises are in store...

We initially called Brandon out after removing our old whirlpool tub, and we wanted a quote for what it would take to do the installation of our new tub, and possibly the whole bathroom. We also contacted another contractor through Home Despot, and Brandon was very competitive in comparison. We were not ready to take the plunge into hiring a professional crew, assuming we could do much of the work ourselves while contracting out a few jobs. A year later, and no significant progress later, we again called Brandon out to clean up our mess. He was professional about the long delay after the initial quote he sent, and we never felt judged for our work or for not hiring help sooner. Once the work started, Brandon and his crew were absolutely respectful of our home and our time. During the demolition phase, Brandon and his crew found some issues leftover from our house’s construction. Brandon communicated these issues with us and let us know this would delay the project and increase costs. He also explained just how important these issues were to fix for the longevity of our bathroom and home. Shortly after getting the bathroom structurally sound, it was Shane’s turn to start laying the heated floor and tile. Shane’s herringbone on our floor is stunning, and it took a lot of time and skill to lay the floor. This beautiful result required being flexible with Shane on timing, however, a little flexibility netted a fantastic finished product. We also listened to Shane on a few design pieces, such as using a single grout color. Thanks to the collaboration we ended up with a tile design that is stunning, warm, and one of a kind. After Shane finished the tile work, Chris came in to do some final trim, doing things with the remnants of our old bathroom I could hardly believe. In fact, throughout the entire build, Chris did amazing work with both the rough and finish carpentry. Both Chris and Shane take clear pride in their work, which shows through in the finished bathroom. Following our first use of our tub, I can find one area for growth for this project. The tub is demonstrating a lot of flex, where it pulls away from the silicone sealant around the wall edges of the tub. That said, we bought the tub ourselves and it was not one Brandon was comfortable with. When it was installed, I questioned not using any mortar or foam under the tub to support the weight between the feet. Brandon explained our tub comes with several feet which when tacked in place are more than enough to support our weight. For my own anxieties though, I will be adding low-expansion foam using the bathtub full of water trick (holds the bottom of the tub in place and prevents the tub from rising. Again, I point out this is not a tub Brandon normally works with, and the instructions with it were terrible. So really this is more of a reflection of Universal Tubs’ instructions – or lack thereof. The above critique is a relatively minor concern and not one that is likely to occur for most people. As such, I can still whole-heatedly recommend this crew for a bathroom remodel. Each person on the crew acts with professionalism and clearly enjoys their craft. In the age of YouTube, I think many of us think we can take on major projects like this. Unfortunately, when it comes to most of the parts of a bathroom remodel, there is simply no substitute for experience. Just like you would never want an Uber driver fresh off a learner’s permit, you probably don’t want to watch a YouTube video then try to lay tile and install your own plumbing. Brandon is not cheap, but he also isn’t ridiculously expensive. Get some bids, but if you want a crew that knows how to create a bathroom that is almost a work of art, look no further!
